& optimisation software
Forsk is an independent company providing radio planning and optimisation software solutions to the wireless
industry since 1987. We are completely independent from equipment suppliers and telecom operators.
In 1997, we released the first version of Atoll, our flagship radio planning software. Since then, Atoll has
remained the most advanced radio planning and optimisation platform available and, with more than 4500
installed licenses worldwide, has reached the leading position on the global market.
Forsks success with Atoll has come from our commitment to 5 key factors:
Independence
Forsks commercial success and strong financial position has ensured its independence of operators, equipment
suppliers, and financial institutions. Being independent, Forsk is able to maintain a long-term strategy for the
development of Atoll and its relationships with customers and partners.
R&D
Forsk is fully focused on developing wireless network design and optimisation software. We have a strong and
committed R&D team which both keeps Atoll in line with the latest developments in the industry and maintains
joint R&D projects for Atoll with a number of operators, equipment suppliers and partners. This R&D effort
allowed us to be the 1st on the market with a 3G radio planning software in 2000, and the 1st on the market
with an LTE planning software in 2008. In 2011, with Atoll 3.1, we deliver a fully integrated multi-technology
planning and optimisation environment.
Software Development Expertise
Forsk uniquely combines in-depth knowledge of network design and software development expertise. Our team
has an unmatched experience in developing wireless network design and optimisation software, which enables us
to provide our customers with powerful, scalable, and user-friendly radio planning and optimisation products.
Open Platform Concept
Atoll is an open and flexible platform able to distribute, centralise and automate calculation and prediction
tasks. Since the first version of Atoll, Forsk has been delivering development tools and partnering with 3rd party
developers in order to create an ecosystem of specialised complementary solutions.
Customer Support
We aim at building and maintaining long-term relationships with its customers in their use of Atoll. The quality
and reactivity of our technical support are key elements of these relationships.
This unique combination of strengths and a long and consistent record make the Forsk difference.
Today, Forsk is a global supplier with 250+ customers in 70 countries and strategic partnerships with major players in
the industry including AT&T, Telefonica O2, Vodafone, Alcatel-Lucent and Huawei.
Forsk distributes and supports Atoll directly from offices and technical support centres in France, USA, and China and
also through a world-wide network of distributors and partners.

Development Tools
Atoll is an open platform and includes development tools that allow operators or 3rd party developers to customise
their working environment and easily integrate Atoll with other applications. This key feature provides flexibility
and a capacity to quickly add customised modules that no other radio planning and optimisation software delivers.
Atoll Scripting Language

Atoll includes a powerful VBScript-based macro language that allows automation and scheduling tasks such as
nation-wide coverage predictions and reporting, propagation calculation automation and monitoring, etc. The
Atoll macro language also enables administrators to implement data management rules and controls, such as
naming conventions and consistency checks.
Atoll Software Development Kit

The Atoll SDK is a set of C++ resources that provide developers with a complete development environment for
the development of Atoll extensions and plug-ins. The SDK includes a general programming interface and some
dedicated interfaces.
The general interface provides access to all Atoll project data allowing developers to add their own functions to
the Atoll user interface. This extremely powerful feature enables the integration of a wide range of applications
with Atoll, including simulation, optimisation, and configuration tools.
Dedicated interfaces allow the integration of specialised modules such as propagation models, smart antenna
models, and frequency planning and optimisation applications.
Forsk offers training courses and dedicated support services for developers.
Example of propagation model and profile display

developed with the Atoll SDK.
Example of customised export function developed

with the Atoll SDK.
Training & Services
Forsk offers a complete range of services to

operators for a quick implementation of Atoll and
in-depth knowledge transfer to users. These services
enable operators to benefit from the increase in
productivity delivered by Atoll in the shortest period
of time. Once the implementation phase is complete,
users get assistance through our helpdesk and we
can also provide on-site assistance when needed.
Implementation
Forsk can provide a turn-key implementation of Atoll
on operator premises, including software installation
and system configuration. Forsk can migrate data
from a previous planning software into Atoll and
perform propagation model calibration hence
delivering a solution that is ready to use right after
the installation.
Training
Forsk has a comprehensive training course portfolio
that covers all activities related to Atoll: user
training, administrator training, technology module
and specialised module training (e.g., propagation
model calibration).
Training courses can be delivered at our training
centres in Europe, North-America and Asia as well
as on customer premises. Forsk can also deliver
customised training courses upon request. Check the
Training section at www.forsk.com for updated public
course schedules and programs.
Mentoring
We provide on-site post-training support in order
to help operators within their first few weeks of
operational use of Atoll. During this phase, operators
get a comprehensive knowledge transfer from Atoll
experts with long experience of similar situations.
Custom Software Development
Forsk can develop additional modules for Atoll,
in order to meet specific integration or functional
requirements. Such modules are developed using the
standard Atoll Software Development Kit (SDK)
in order to achieve full integration and make future
evolutions and maintenance easy.
Helpdesk and Support Portal
Once the Atoll implementation project has been
completed, operators get a continuous access to Forsk
support through the Atoll Helpdesk and the Support
Portal. The Atoll support portal provides access to a
set of online resources and allows users to log technical
questions to the Forsk helpdesk/support team.
